Ridiculous discrimination, squared and cubed

This is the crap that really pisses me off. A white player will play a fantastic game when given minutes, outplaying the starters coming off the bench, and the next game, rather than being rewarded with some PT and the chance to keep the hot streak going, they actually see a drastic reduction in minutes.

Cases in point:

Ryan Anderson, NJN, yesterday scores 20, on 11 shots, playing 25 minutes against Boston. Today, buried, playing only 9 minutes. Not even like he was playing bad, scoring 4 on 2 shots, with 3 boards, but it looks pathetic even touting it. No one can get to double digits as the 10th sub in 9 minutes of PT, and what is point of mentioning single digit production...

JJ Redick, DNP tonight against the Hawks. WTF? Was he was injured, because what other reason is there for a DNP??? Two nights ago JJ scores 14 on six shots and led the team in plus-minus in his meager 21 minutes. The rookie who started ahead of him and played 26 minutes that night, scoring 2 (on eight shots!!!) to go with his 3 TOs, HE GETS REWARDED tonight with 33 minutes. Are you kidding me???

Blake Ahearn, against Toronto, scores 15 (2nd on team) on only 9 shots in his 21 minutes. Then in the very next game, he gets thrown in for a grand total of 4 minutes of PT, at the very end of the game against Denver, no less (but STILL hits a clutch 3 to help Minny win).

Where is the logic or sense in all this? Unless discrimination against white Americans makes sense, and it's logical not to play your best players.
